Better Home Town Four Points
The success of the Main Street approach is based on its comprehensive nature. By carefully integrating four points
into a practical downtown management strategy, a local Main Street program will produce fundamental changes in a community’s economic base. The four points are organization, promotion, design, and economic restructuring. More info
The Royston BHT Office along with Lavonia BHT are the representatives from Franklin County working with the Lake Hartwell Alliance for the upcoming tournaments in August. The first event was in 2010 and was a huge success. The hopes are for this year to be even better. Our community will benefit as many of the visitors are in town to watch the athletes prepare for the Jet Ski Tournament and will stay over a few days to enjoy the area. Royston will have a booth at the three day event to encourage them to visit our town. As the date gets closer, I will provide you all with information so you can enjoy the event.
Save the date for the upcoming Gospel Fest on Friday, October 7th and the Fall Festival on Saturday, October 8th.
